    But we've got to prioritize. Somewhere someone is being forced to treat all their customers equally with basic respect! Oh no, now that's a problem! Hop to it, American legal system!

    Jokes aside... I think this pretty well sums up why I'm growing to hate my country. It's broken, and doesen't want to be fixed. That all the pain and death doesen't matter as long as there's money and power. That every life destroyed is just a statistic. It disgusts me.

    If the kids were guilty of ANY OTHER BEHAVIOR, then everyone would call this child abuse. But the kids are guilty of love and of wanting to be happy, and that somehow legitimizes the abuse???

    I have grown increasingly cynical towards USA at it's societal values set by Christians within the country. I am really tired of Christian generated hate.

    I agree 100%. Although my understanding of conversion therapy is limited, I now see the practice as state and church sanctioned child abuse. Wow what a statement.

    This is sickening. It is also sickening when people say the USA is a Christian country when you can be whatever you like here. Or at least, you should be able to be.

    It pretty much is though. 69% to 2% is a pretty gigantic drop from first to second place.

    When does a once Christian country become a Post Christian country?

    This is the kind of crap that makes me lose faith in this country. Still legal in any number of states, but especially that many, is disgusting and horrifying. Smh. Personally, I wonder if those jerks got a taste of their own 'medicine' if they would be so willing to do those things to people anymore. The above link about how states are banning it is good news though. It just turns my stomach to see how many states it's still 'ok' in.
